Just wanted to hear from girls out there who conceived on IVF cycles where they transferred 2 embryos.

I know this is a very subjective thing, but would like to get an idea of how common it is to conceive twins vs singletons from a cycle where 2 embryos were transferred.

Thanks heaps.

ETA We are completely comfortable with the decision we have made to transfer 2 embryos, and are well aware of all the risks associated with multiple births. This question is purely out of curiosity.

Amy,

IVF ICSI #1 - 2 eggs transferd = one baby boy

good luck with your research!

Amy,

We transfers two embies for all of our 7 transfers.

As you can see from my sig we got:
* numerous chemical-pregnacies
* 1 ectopic (single pregnancy)
* 1 bub (a Boy!!!) from our last transfer.
(My HCG numbers were absolutely huge in the beginning, followed by lots of bleeding, so they think I 'may' have lost a second bub, but it was too early to tell anything definitive.)

Like you, we discussed our options extensively and knew the risks associated with a multiple PG, but were always comfortable with our decision to transfer 2 little possibilities.

Love Simi

Transferred 2 frozen embryos - 1 baby girl.

PS. One of the embryos looked distinctly better than the other on thaw.

Where we had two to transfer, we have always transferred two.

We have a 17 month old little girl, from two transferred.

I've just transferred another two and am in the 2ww.

Congratulations to all of your who have made it!! Ellbee - all the best for your 2WW.

Where possible I always transferred 2 embryos -

last cycle I transferred 2 embryos (8-cells/ICSI) and have a 5-mth baby girl ...

I was the same as Simi (except my beta wasn't WAY high) - and was told this too ...

lots of bleeding, so they think I 'may' have lost a second bub, but it was too early to tell anything definitive.

Hi there,

2 x 5 day blasts transferred ( 1x Gr1 and 1 x Gr2). Beta was 615 at 16DPO. Also suspect "vanishing twin syndrome" (although no bleeding in my case). Gave birth to a singleton boy.

Best of luck.

Hi, we were very lucky first go (ICSI) with two 3-day embies - and got our twin sons.
My clinic originally quoted me odds of ~40% chance of a pregnancy, then ~13% chance of multiples - after transferring two good quality embies, so not huge odds of multiples.
Good luck!
